IEC 60898 – Relates to low-voltage circuit breakers for use in homes and similar installations. Traditionally known in the UK as a miniature circuit breaker.

Q: What are the differences in the tripping curves B, C, and D?
A: Curve B: Tripping: 3 to 5 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of generators, people, very long cables. Curve C: Tripping: 5 to 10 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of circuits and general applications. Curve D: Tripping: 10 to 14 times the rated current. Applications: Protection of high-voltage circuits, welders, transformers, and motors.
